She teaches you why normal cleansers aren't good for the environment OR your family, while easily showing you what you can do to improve your cleaning routines. Added bonus: the majority of her cleaning methods use items you already have at home, and are much less expensive than buying separate cleaning products.

An ancient Ayurvedic practice, scraping your tongue gets rid of far more bacteria and odor-causing debris than brushing alone. This one from Preserve is (you guessed it!) 100% recyclable and made from 100% recycled materials.

I prefer a version that Starbucks put out a few months ago. Their version is pretty much the same, but the outside is glazed (and of course has their logo) and the lid is plastic with a silicone liner to keep liquids sealed in. The key difference between the two is the price. "I Am Not A Paper Cup" is roughly $20 and the Starbucks version is $12.
The upsides to either is that if you are a daily coffee drinker, you don't have to trash a paper cup and plastic lid every time you get take-out coffee. The downside is that both of them hold about 8 oz. - not favorable if you normally order a "grande" at Starbucks. Another issue for commuters is that it is not spill-proof or splash-proof. And finally, the Starbucks version CANNOT go into the microwave.

Whenever I think about that island of plastic grocery bags the size of Texas that's out there in the Pacific it makes me ill. We all need to change our habits and start taking our re-usable canvas totes with us to the market. Okay...Whenever I think about that island of plastic grocery bags the size of Texas that's out there in the Pacific it makes me ill. We all need to change our habits and start taking our re-usable canvas totes with us to the market. Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now...
Anyway, this cool tote has a beautiful depiction of a tree combined with some seriously funky type and will show your support for the planet and all things green. Happens to be another of my designs from my shop at cafepress so everybody crack those wallets open and snap one up today! :^)

Penguin facts:
Emperor penguins live on the floating ice packs and islands of Antarctica. Known as the "giant of the penguins," an adult can grow up to four feet in height and weigh 80 pounds. Flightless and clumsy on land, these birds are most at home underwater, where they feed on a diet of crustaceans, small fish and squid. The emperor penguin is the deepest diving penguin, capable of reaching depths of 1,700 feet. Global warming and habitat loss pose the greatest risks to these remarkable birds.

Our favorite character from Snoopy makes his way onto this t-shirt for one reason. Pig-pen is setting the record straight. The reason he was always so dirty is that is was entirely committed to water conservation.

this is so worth buying,

Also, I will take this time to remind people to LEAVE THE GRASS CLIPPINGS ON THE LAWN! As long as the grass isn't so high that it's leaving huge clumps, those clippings are better for your grass (nitrogen=green) than any fertilizer. I'm an ex-landscape designer, so you can trust me.

Looks like these are easy to find around Amazon and maybe your local store.

I love my iced tea, so I follow my dentist's advice in drinking those staining liquids through a straw so the front of my teeth don't suffer the consequences....AND......believe it or not........straws have been a major issue with the waste and the way I reuse the same ones at home.
Not sure anything qualifies as functional art as much as this!
Some may not consider this to be a NEED, but it is for me!!
Super strong glass
Used with cold or hot liquids (hot?)
Guaranteed against breakage
Cleaning brush available

You know that advice your dentist gives you about drinking dark, staining liquids through a straw so that less staining occurs to the front of your teeth? Well, I've been following that advice via my iced tea addiction and one thing has been bothering me...the straw!
I reuse the same few over and over at home, but believe it or not.............these make total sense to me! My next purchase.

This is fuel for your patio torch (as I do not use one since the traditional oil makes me nervous). Made 100% natural (from recycled restaurant oil) and biodegradable with added citrus smell.
Comes with wick best suited for their oil. Now, I'm off to the store to finally get a torch.....

That hump in the handle........melts right into your palm. And the medium brush is more like soft, which my dentist recommended. Overall: Happy
"Replaceable head toothbrush with renewable resource handle. Wood Fiber blended with PLA, a plastic derived entirely from Nebraska maize. The resulting material is 100% renewal resource."
It is kind of silly that we must throw away an entire toothbrush. I'm not sure how much impact this would have, but it states something about how one prefers to live.

We adore this assortment of 5 environmentally friendly (and totally groovy) Envirosax bags - rolled up in a carrying pouch small enough to stow into a glove box or a handbag. With reinforced seams, each surprisingly large bag holds the equivalent weight of 2 supermarket plastic bags. And…they’re really, really cute!!
